Posts from RTF is a global modification that replaces all towns in the game.

Now I'm doing an alternate upgrade; for some reason, the map editor started crashing during the development of this unit. I recompiled the mod, and it seems like the crashes have stopped, but I'm afraid they might come back. XD

There are bugs here.

Well yeah... on the 7th, these liches are essentially nazgûls, on the 6th there are mounted Knight, and on the 5th the old ones... but they need to be named something like half-liches, although you could just leave them! Dragons as neutrals...

Yeah, I split them up because I ran out of ideas – a separate winged one, a separate fiery one.

From folklore, only "yeratnik" – a sorcerer risen from the dead – fits the meaning.
In principle, you could use the name "demilich," although in D&D, these are flying skulls, but the point is that a demilich is more powerful than a regular lich.
Or you could create a word-homunculus from two names you like, or play around with Latin, but that's a very popular language.

Plus, the "arch-lich" and "demilich" constructions, due to their length, are easy to read. You could drop the "lich" ending and call it something like "damnari" (from the word "damnare" – cursed), "mortumanti" (mortuum – dead in Latin), or "infirmant" (from the word "sick"), although that sounds a bit strange. These are more like names for regions; "Damnaric sorcerers" sounds better.

Here's another point: since this isn't a lich, but a sorcerer who has risen against his will, he could call himself a sorcerer/wizard, or it could be an ancient word in his native language.

I like the Erathian!

It evokes some silly associations in me) like it's a house spirit. I want something epic. By the way, in Warhammer, they have an unusual method of creating names - they put "Arch" at the end - in FB it's not-archs, but in AoS it's Mortarchs, maybe we can try that too.

as always, all the Latin words are already used in Warhammer. I googled the word "bones" - it's "ossa", and the bone soldiers from Warhammer AoS are called Ossiarchs.... we need to change the language to steal words.

I'm reading about D&D undead, and I was surprised that demiliches can be both quite powerful and, conversely, degrading. Well, for now, my top 1 undead is the lichen lich, there is no lore about it, it's just a lich-druid covered in moss, mushrooms, and vines of poisonous plants.

and here's another interesting concept - a quasilich, this is a lich who failed to complete the transformation, he is insane and ugly.

so, I will have guys with shovels - one will be a semi-lich, and the second a quasilich, one remained smart after the transformation, and the second, on the contrary, became dull, but still received necromantic power. by the way, if we change the name of T7, there will be no full-fledged liches at all, except that the hero can be a lich.

for now, the best name I found in D&D is deathlock - a necromancer enslaved by some demon, the concept can also be changed, the main thing is that the name is cool.

but here's an unsuccessful name - kakomancer. This is an undead who escaped from the afterlife and became a mage. There is also allip - the main feature of this undead is that he keeps some secret and suffers from it, but the name is not the most menacing, for now, deathlock is in the lead.

I like Demilich the most. It’s short and clear.

One of my acquaintances, who enjoys making figurines based on the game's heroes, suggested calling this unit "Archon," and for some reason, it resonated with me. The word "archon" is strongly associated with Belket in my mind, but I'm not sure if that's his title.

I spent a long time working on the unit – there was more unnecessary data than actual files. It had extra shoulder pads, textures for armor, heads, helmets, and so on.
Now, everything is ready.

Great! The name is also good, but I would prefer Demiliches)

I refused to play as Liches simply because they aren't mages who became undead; they are undead who became mages. :)
A Lich will be a hero who specializes in the fourth level.

*nitpicker arrived*
Actually, a Lich is a Mage-Necromancer who performed the Ritual of Eternal Night and became an undead Lich.
*nitpicker opened the window and ran away*

.*nitpicker #2 arrived*
it's written here that this is NOT a living being turned into undead, but an undead being that became a mage - there was no ritual of eternal night, and they didn't practice necromancy in their lifetime, it's just a skeleton whose soul was able to overcome the self-awareness block
this is a land of the dead, not necromancers, a branch of Dark Souls in our Middle-earth
*nitpicker #2 jumped out the window*

Well, I guess I was wrong and misinterpreted your previous message).

"...I gave up on liches simply because it's not a mage who became undead, but undead who became a mage."
